Two hours later.

Xia Zuo, Kristo and others ended the discussion, and the pure-blood mage camp unanimously supported the use of the Thorn of Sin for review.

The same goes for other camps.

This matter was passed unanimously without hindrance, and it is scheduled to convene the people on the list in batches three days later for unified review.

For the temple, it is best for the big review in three days to find the whereabouts of Black Flag, otherwise the list of people to be reviewed will have to be expanded to include all 682 male mages who entered the important departments of the temple after 1880. .

If the second round of major reviews doesn't get the desired results...

That's trouble.

Either the Thorns of Sin were useless against Black Flag, or... Black Flag completely changed his appearance this time and entered the temple as a female mage instead of a male mage.

No matter what the situation is, it is not what the Temple wants to see. When the Strange Demon Church is about to start the All-Alliance War, time is especially precious. If the black flag is uncovered one day later, the Temple will have another potential threat. .

After the second matter was reviewed, the deduction results of [Vientiane Star Orbit] just came out.

A gap opened again in the starry sky pattern on the ceiling, and a mysterious blue light pillar fell on the podium in front of Rexor, condensing into a parchment scroll.

Rexor picked up the parchment, read the text on it and said:

"The deduction results of [Vientiane Star Orbit] show that we can trust Kallus and give him the status of a member of the Temple. The possibility of him betraying the Temple is 0%.

“But that doesn’t mean we don’t have to put any restraints on him.

"Among the many plans you have given to supervise Kallus, the following ones are the most feasible.

“The plan proposed by the Wildhammer Alchemist Association has been highly recognized, and [Vientiane Star Trail] gave it a perfect score of 100 points.

"The Wildhammer Alchemist Association advocates making Kallus a safe and reliable all-metal pure-blood mage. The reason is that none of the existing information about Black Flag can prove that Black Flag has the ability to fuse metal objects. In this way, This basically eliminates the possibility of Black Flag merging with Kallus again.”

Rexor paused and glanced vaguely at the pure-blood mage camp, "Of course, this plan retains Kallus' basic physiological functions."

Rexor continued:

"The bloodline power research working group established about half a year ago believes that we should extract Kallus' pure-blood mage bloodline, hand it over to the pure-blood mage camp, and use some as material for studying the power of bloodline, giving it only to Kallus. Keeping a small part would increase the temple's control over him.

"[Wanxiang Star Track] gave this plan a score of 92 points. The risk is that the act of extracting the power of blood is likely to cause dissatisfaction with Kallus and the pure-blood mage camp."

Xia Zuo nodded, no one with the power of blood would allow this kind of thing to happen to the same kind of people.

Well...except for the strange demons of the strange demon church. The mixed-blood mage is an expert in extracting the power of blood...

Rexall later talked about several plans with scores above 90 points.

Equip Kallus with an alchemical heart to control his life.

Or give him special functional medicines on a regular basis to make him suffer from drug addiction that is difficult to access.

Or, completely extract all his past memories and weave new memories for him, replace his real memories with fictitious and brand-new life experiences, and turn him into an ordinary person who grew up in the temple territory. Pureblood mage…

To be honest, Xia Zuo's brows jumped when he heard the last plan...

What genius came up with this plan?

hold head high?

Are you a time-travel drama writer?

How about you solve the problem of bloodline decline in the pure-blood mage camp and arrange a marriage between Kallus and a female pure-blood mage, starting from the two meeting in the academy...

Um? Wait, why does this plot sound so familiar...

Xia Zuo was stunned, but he didn't expect that all these random thoughts would come to him.

At this moment, Rexall announced that the meeting was over. The final decision on which plan will be selected will have to wait until the major review is completed. Because there are people in the temple departments who propose various plans who need to be reviewed by the Thorn of Sin.

Xia Zuo cleared the table and walked towards the door of the venue.

Kristo walked up to him before leaving the meeting and said, "Come with me, and we will discuss how to deal with the Thorns of Sin."

"Countermeasures?" Xia Zuo asked with some confusion.

"Well, you don't think that privately manipulating the blood servants to enter the forbidden magic field is something so secret that even the Thorns of Sin cannot discover it, right?"

"Oh, right. I almost forgot about this." Xia Zuo touched his head.

He had already been mentally prepared to face punishment, but now that he heard Kristo offering to help him find countermeasures, he immediately sighed that it was a good thing to have an organization to rely on.

Cristo led the way. The two walked through the corridor, through the teleportation room to the teaching area, and entered Kristo's office.

Selena is already waiting here.

Two minutes later, the bald man walked into the door.

Kristo arranged the round table and chairs in advance, and after Rexor sat down, she used a spell to seal the door to block any prying eyes.

Selina took out the parchment and put it in front of Xia Zuo, "Take a look, this is a contract for the rescue team. After you sign it, your name will be on the list of members of the rescue and infiltration team. Yes. Your act of sending hematin servants into the forbidden magic field is no longer an unauthorized and illegal action."

Rexor also took out a parchment and placed it in front of Xia Zuo, "Emergency spellcasting permission order specially approved by the Demon Hunting School. After signing it, your hemogen servants will be prohibited from acting without authorization in the forbidden magic field. The legal action was wiped out.”

Xia Zuo looked at the parchment on the left and then on the right.

He raised his head and glanced at Rexor's bald head and Selina's face, "Why do you want to help me? I think I can bear the consequences myself..."

"Okay, Xia Zuo. I finally figured out one thing." Selina leaned on the back of the chair with her arms folded, shaking her head slightly and said, "You were independent and self-disciplined when you were learning alchemy, and you were so independent after work. You never get together with colleagues and friends, not just because you devote yourself to study and work, but also because you are withdrawn by nature. You like to be alone, to do things alone, to enjoy the results and take risks alone. Many people will think You are unsociable and even a little aloof. But I think this is a good quality."

Selina paused, "Although I recognize your character and ideas, I still have to remind you that what you do in the forbidden magic place will not only affect you, but your fiancée will also be implicated. Could it be that you Do you want her to be punished too?”

Xia Zuo was silent.

He and Anru'er had discussed this matter in the past three days.

They carefully studied the Temple Law and finally came to the conclusion:

Even if Xia Zuo takes all the responsibility on himself, Anruer will be punished by something as innocuous as restricting the purchase of controlled substances. This kind of punishment is not very powerful, but it may affect Anruer's future promotion to Eternal Mage, or her promotion of professional title.

Anruer can accept this result.

She felt that as a little girl born in the Western Continent, it was a very happy thing to be able to reach this stage and be accompanied by a pure-blood mage. She had no more desires in her heart and just wanted to protect her current life. Let it continue, be promoted to a higher mage level or take a further step in your career, etc., just let it happen.

Seeing Anruer being so open-minded, Xia Zuo felt it didn't matter anymore.

He will live longer than everyone in the temple, and he is afraid that this short confinement will not...

But now that Selena has a better solution, that's another story...

Xia Zuo thought for nearly a minute, nodded and said, "Thank you, Selina."

He looked at the bald head.

Rexor reached out and tapped the parchment, "I help you eliminate the bad effects of illegal behavior, not only because you saved the lives of me, Seritus and other infiltration team members, but there is another reason, but You have to sign before I can talk to you alone."

"Okay." Xia Zuo shrugged slightly, read the two parchments carefully, and then signed his name with a wave of his hand.

Rexall gave Crystal and Selina a look, and they picked up the parchment on the table and left.

After the office door was closed, only Xia Zuo and Rexor were left in the room.

The bald man dragged a chair to sit next to Xia Zuo, with a somewhat angry look on his face. He lowered his voice and said dissatisfiedly:

"Xia Zuo, maybe you haven't realized it yet, but you look like a bastard!"

"What?" Xia Zuo frowned and looked sideways at the bald head, "Why do you say that?"

"Hmph, do you still remember that a few years ago, when I was helping you practice the hammer, you awakened blood magic during training?" Rexor asked, holding his arms.

"Of course." Xia Zuo nodded.

"What did I say?" Rexall asked.

"What did you say..." Xia Zuo fell into memories.

If he remembered correctly, the blood magic he awakened at that time should be [blood volume recall] and [flesh camouflage] - the former can take back the vitality lost outside the body into the body and restore part of the damaged blood volume, and the latter blood magic The latter is used to disguise the appearance and body shape and cover up the true blood pattern characteristics.

The process of awakening [blood volume retrospection] and [flesh camouflage] was both impulsive and reckless for Xia Zuo.

He has always prioritized keeping his secrets, fearing that others would find out that he was a wall-hanger with a golden finger, and then take him into the laboratory for research... This matter has almost become a knot in his heart.

While practicing the chain hammer with Rexor, Xia Zuo got the inspiration to awaken blood magic.

Originally, he should have temporarily suppressed his inspiration and waited until he returned home after training before continuing to awaken. However, perhaps because of his trust in Rexor, or perhaps because he was more familiar with him, Xia Zuo decided arbitrarily to do it in front of the bald head. Awakening.

Afterwards, Xia Zuo asked Rexor what kind of blood magic other pure-blood mages knew.

Rexall said that this is the secret of every pure-blood mage. The temple does not require pure-blood mages to hand over their spell lists, it only requires them to remain [loyal].

Okay... I seem to know why the bald head came to attack me... Xia Zuo touched his head and said nothing.

Seeing his appearance, Rexor smiled without emotion and said:

"Ha! It seems you still remember what I said, right? The temple has only one requirement for every pure-blood mage, and that is loyalty, loyalty, and loyalty! You can keep yours like everyone else Secrets, you can also take the initiative to reveal some secrets at the right time to help the temple solve difficult problems, just like you told me the name of the blood demon Qualuowuqi after awakening blood magic during training. I did not ask for clues. Source and reliability, it is precisely because I saw your loyalty to the temple that I chose to trust you unconditionally.”

Rexor paused, "Think about what you did during the mission to infiltrate the Forbidden Magic Field? You concealed your strength and did not tell me in advance that your hemogen servants could transform humans into blood mages. You also didn’t tell me that your hemogen servants have the ability to bring people back to life, and you didn’t mention to me that your blood curse is so powerful! If I had known that you had this power, I would have made changes to our plan. Many sacrifices could have been avoided and even greater advantages could have been achieved!”

Rexor growled, "Do you think you are being loyal by doing this? No! Not loyal! You should know very well what the first rule of the Temple's law is - do not do anything that harms the interests of the Temple, and do not harm anyone. Temple members are not allowed to invade any unauthorized Temple territory. If you violate any of these rules, you will be labeled as disloyal. Now, you still feel that you have secretly made hemogen servants and controlled them through the Kingdom of Wildhammer and the Tower. In the mage's territory, is it a trivial matter to sneak into the Forbidden Magic Field? You don't think you will only be imprisoned for ten years, do you? You are too naive. The Thorns of Sin will not care about your original intention of doing so, it Just look at the results. Anyone who has done something unfaithful will only die when facing the thorns of sin."

Rexor tapped Xia Zuo's chest with his hard fingertips, "If I die and the entire infiltration team is wiped out, then no one will know about what you did and no one will hold accountable you. But unfortunately, you If you save me, then I have to fulfill my responsibilities and supervise each of you. At the same time, I will try my best to repay you for saving my life, although your method of concealing your strength makes me feel that my generous death is like a clown performance. You can still laugh, but it is true that you saved me and other infiltration team members. We will repay your kindness. Just now, when you signed the authorization letter, the relationship between the Demon Hunting School and you was clear. Do you agree?"

"I agree with your approach." Xia Zuo took a deep breath, "I'm sorry, Master. I admit that I did make a serious mistake. Thank you for helping me correct it."

Perhaps seeing Xia Zuo's good attitude, Rexor restrained the anger on his face and his voice became calmer:

“Our world is only so big...for now.

"So don't think about trying your bold ideas on the edge of the law. If you violate the law, you have nowhere to escape.

"No matter how powerful a person is, he cannot compete with the temple. Even the shadow demon master who controls the dark room only dares to huddle in the dark room plane, because it knows that once it steps into the natural world, what awaits it There is only destruction, and we are always preparing a gift for it.

"I have come into contact with many, many pure-blood mages. Although you have different appearances and personalities, you are all the same in terms of caution. You are worried that after you expose your blood magic talent, you will be used by strange demons or other sinister intentions.

"Only after gaining your complete trust will you reveal your true feelings and take the initiative to open up the gap between yourself and the temple to prevent yourself from slipping into the abyss of depravity due to an unintentional mistake."

Rexor reached out and patted Xia Zuo on the shoulder, "I have told you the biggest secret of the Demon Hunting School, and you have witnessed my sacrifice and rebirth, so do I have your complete trust now?"
